Create Operations Console Desktop Shortcut

You can create a shortcut to the Operations Console so that you can access the interface from an icon on your desktop and avoid accessing from the Dashboard. Start the Operations Console at least once from the Dashboard on your system before creating the desktop shortcut.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the location of Java on your system as follows (or navigating to the system32 directory on Windows systems):

   Note: If you navigate to the location of a specific Java directory, it must be the same Java that CA SOI uses.

   cd Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
   

2. Enter the following command:

   javaws.exe -viewer
   

   The Java Cache Viewer page opens.

3. Right-click the CA Service Operations Insight Console entry and select Install Shortcuts.

   Your desktop has the CA Service Operations Insight Console shortcut icon. You double-click the icon and enter CA SOI credentials to access the Operations Console.

Note: If a proxy server login page opens when you start the Operations Console or during console operation, use Java 1.6.0_13 or below.
